“Very proud of the team,” Head Coach Jeff Brown said. “They’ve been continuously putting pieces together and hadn’t gotten rewarded for it as much as they should have. I think they’ve really stuck together as a team and this is a very good win to build on and to put us going in the right direction.”

The Tigers began the match with a 6-2 doubles loss from Jordan Daigle and Boris Arias on court one but with clutch play on courts two and three, LSU secured the doubles point.

Simon Freund, although going to a third set after falling 6-2 in the first, couldn’t quite finish his opponent on court four giving a 6-2, 4-6, 2-6 win to Vanderbilt’s Baker Newman.

With LSU ahead 3-2, Korinek got a clutch three set win on court six to secure the victory for his team. This marks LSU’s second conference win after defeating the Commodores. LSU now puts Vanderbilt’s four match win streak to a halt.

Arias continued play on court five after Korinek clinched, winning 7-6, to give LSU a 5-2 overall win over Vanderbilt. LSU returns home Tuesday to face Brown at 3 p.m. CT.
